FIVE YEARS DOWN THE TRACK...

In November 2004 we started the journey to bring a baby home from China ... five years later, in October 2009, we met Isobel Pingqin.
Our little livewire known as Izzy.

Slowly moving forward

Builders started working again this week. At the beginning of the week we had insulation put in (think I could have done a better job), and Friday and Saturday all the gyprock went up.
Weatherboards went up on some of the side areas and cedar to line the entrance.
Eves went up yesterday and our water tank was delivered.
Department of Fair Trading are sending out their own inspector to inspect.

The nightmare of building a house

We started off so excited about our new house... and now I don't even want to drive past the shell of a house sitting on our block.

Bricks were laid and we questioned the quality before the brickie had even finished, as his work was so sloppy. That was on 8 August. This all fell on deaf ears and after weeks of numerous letters and phone calls, we were left with no option but to obtain a formal building inspection.

That confirmed what we knew - it was crap.

WORST BUILDING COMPANY IN THE WORLD.

THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD.
